We hiked up the Pedra da Gávea with Lucas, and he was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, kind and full of energy! We had such a great experience in his company and got to learn a lot about the history of Rio and the surrounding nature. I would very highly recommend the tour!

I recommend doing the trail with the guide Walter: (21) 96906-6914. We made the trail to the heavenly chair, over the emperor's head, and we used Walter's equipment to climb the carnage.

Lucas is an incredible guide! We had so much fun with him and since the beginning he made us feel so comfortable and adjusted to our pace. We had great communication with him and a lot of nice conversations. He knows exactly what he’s doing and it honestly felt like being with a friend. The hike was spectacular and well worth it with a guide! We highly recommend Lucas!

We made the Gávea trail a very beautiful place full of adventures and beautiful landscapes, the trail has its challenges but compensates for the visual The climb in the carrasqueira was an exciting challenge but with a lot of safety and joy.

The view from Pedro da Tijuca is spectacular. It is nice to see the more northern parts of Rio and Pedra da Gavea from a different angle then you can do from the city. The stairs up is not as scary as it might looks on the pictures. Thomas Arias, our guide, was really skilled and told about the history of the park, the fauna, animals and hidden gems in the park. Totally worth it
